 TUCKPOINT CHURCH STEEPLE 
Recent news is that we have a proxy to the Diocese to have Karr Tuckpointing do necessary exterior masonry work on the St. Thomas Aquinas church steeple to fix cracks, leaks, etc. at a cost of approximately $25,000.00. The work will be done next spring. We are going to need your help to fund this project. Please be generous.
